However once Sana, Han and Leia discover where Luke has go the decide to follow him and Aphra as there could be something quite sinister at play. Overall this was a great book as it sends the characters on a great adventure that takes them to the planet Ktath'atn where they find themselves having to work together when the planet's queen plans on enslaving everyone. There is a great amount of comedy within the book that comes from the great interactions between the cast of each series thanks to the way they have different views in the situations they find themselves in. The art throughout the book is amazing thanks to the way each art team is able to make the characters emote and some of the location designs look breathtaking in places. 8.5/10.
